Lies

[Var† 0]

LIES:

It’s tangible, but abusive

Present but illusive

Like a spirit who lies that it’s a friend

Its intentions are evident soon enough

But I can’t fight it, not now, it’s too tough

I’m so far deep I can’t see which way is up

 

(Chorus)

I’m backwards and upside down

With my feet flailing off the ground

My world is spinning round and round

And you’re all I see in the whirlwind

I know it’s a falsity

An evanescence of something I want in me

And instead of the source truth

I go for subtleties

(End Chorus)

 

When I wake, I see your face

It’s picturesque, but out of place

With the rest of my room and furniture

When I take a hard look

At this lie I’ve now forsook

It looks like a face taped over something far greater

 

It’s a masquerade indeed

And I’m not seeing what’s inside

The mask is too blinding

To the dead life underneath

 

(Chorus)

Give me your eyes

Help me see through the lies

Past the infestation that keeps me from seeing the pain

I know now, that this is your race

Against the same thing I used to face

I want nothing more than to help those who feel the same

(End Chorus)

 

But when I don’t even know

What lies I may follow

How can I know what to repent?

And when I feel how answer

I see the lights and not the dancer

The flashy things but not the main attraction

I know it’s you I seek

But sometimes I can’t see straight

And neither can they

Can I help them anyway?

 

(First Chorus)

(End of First Chorus)
